Who is watching this in 2020..? I grew up in Koki Settlement now known as Koki Wanigela Village.. You are probably the most bravest and courageous white man I've ever seen going there by yourself despite the negativity 👍👏

I was there for garment businesses from the beginning of the 80's to year 2000. So so sad that Morsby is getting from bad to worst! To me the problems are only three. Years of multiply corrupt government official right up to the Prime Minster. And unemployment plus drinkings. Please God save PNG n Her wonderful people.Thank you, God

I grew up in Port Moresby in the 80s, It was relatively safe to walk around during the day (as a kid!) and drive around (doors locked) at night. To give you an idea of how dangerous it is now, at the height the Iraq war Port Moresby was considered the 2nd most dangerous place for foreigners outside of Bagdad. Places I used to walk around by myself as a kid are now no go zones. That includes Koki Market where you were, Idlers Bay, Boroko, Gerehu (I lived there in the early 80s).

Dexter Plameras do u know or have herd anything about the korowi tribe in the highlands?? please reply

@dexterplameras3249 6 жыл бұрын

I don't know anything specifically about them, but tribes in general operate on the same systems. Tribes in PNG still solve their differences through tribal wars. Payback is cultural, as is sorcery and witchcraft killings.

Port Moresby in 70s and 80s was quite safe to work around. I went to St Joseph school in Boroko. Our family owned a shop in Boroko and sometime we walked to our shop after finished school. Quite a few expats children walked back to home after school finished. Lots of people in Koki Market are is still quite safe to go. I left Port Moresby in the early 90s, the crime rate start to get worst. I think this is due to many people from other parts of PNG come to Port Moresby for work and unfortunately there were not many jobs available in Port Moresby, thus there is quite a lots of unemployed people around.

I worked in POM in 2012-13 and the first place I lived was Koki, within a day or so of arriving a dude took his wifes head at the market with a bush knife because he thought she had been cheating, by the time I left I knew that was just another day in Moresby. I later moved to Lawes Rd above Ela Beach and I have to say from the more recent videos I've seen it's looking way nicer. I lived in one other compound but damned if I can remember the address. Finally although there a places you can safely walk during the day I don't know if I'd call you brave or stupid, especially wandering around with a GoPro, I'd certainly call you lucky.

I always wanted to visit Port Moresby since I was small but after watching your video , I have second thoughts . I live in Malaysia and here it is usually safe to walk alone in the middle of the night . I think I would be uncomfortable visiting Port Moresby . Whats the use of visiting Port Moresby if I don't feel peace of mind walking around .

@eddiebell 4 жыл бұрын

I recommend visiting other parts of PNG. I felt very safe walking round on Misima Island. If you have a guide or a local friend, you should be fine anywhere.

Well if you make one local friend it is definitely safer to walk around with a friend. Or in a car, other parts of png are definitely safer.

@@eddiebell glad you had a trouble free trip. I used to live there. We moved to Australia in 1979 because law/order/safety concerns. PNG was a wonderful safe place under Australian administration. After independence September 1975 problems started. I have since revisited 3 times over the years. Place has progressed, still has a long way to go. Cheers.
